Answer: QS=68 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>RT=RS+ST</em>

<em>8x-43=2x-4+4x-1</em>

<em>8x-43=6x-5</em>

<em>8x-43-6x=6x-5-6x</em>

<em>2x-43=-5</em>

<em>2x-43+43=-5+43</em>

<em>2x=38</em>

<em>Divide both parts of the equation by 2:</em>

<em>x=19</em>

<em>QS=RS+RQ</em>

<em>As, RS=RQ</em>

<em>QS=2RS</em>

<em>QS=(2)((2)(19)-4))</em>

<em>QS=(2)(38-4)</em>

<em>QS=(2)(34)</em>

<em>QS=68</em>

What is the sum of 1 2/5 and 5 3/4​
Art [367]

Answer:

7\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hey there!</em>

Well to add this we need to pu it in improper form.

7/5 + 23/4

Now we need to find the LCM.

5 - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

4 - 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28

So the LCD is 20.

Now we need to change the 5 and 4 to 20.

5*4 = 20

7*4 = 28

<u>28/20</u>

4*5=20

23*5=115

<u>115/20</u>

Now we can add 28 and 115,

= 143/20

Simplified

7 3/20

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>
